A pessimist's guide to marriage.

Anyone we might marry could be wrong for us - even just a little bit. We know that perfection is not in the cards. And yet, errors of deep-seated incompatibility in married couples seem to occur regularly.

This informative (and funny) book examines the reasons why - and then suggests a new approach to marriage. The time has come to bury the Romantic intuition-based view of marriage and learn to practice and rehearse marriage as one would ice-skating or violin playing, activities no more deserving of systematic periods of institution.

BASED ON THE NEW YORK TIMES MOST-READ ARTICLE OF 2016A THOUGHT-PROVOKING ESSAY COLLECTION • about relationships and marriage. A PESSIMIST'S GUIDE TO MARRIAGE • offering insight, practical advice, and consolation.
